Why I chose UCLA: UCLA has a reputation of being a top notch academic center with high acuity. What drew me to UCLA was the robust cardiac program and the multitude of intensive care units. I knew that coming here would challenge me and expose me to a wide array of pathologies all while being taught by leaders in their respective fields. But most importantly, it was the welcoming, family- like feel that drew me in. I wanted to be at a place where I could feel supported and also feel like I am amongst friends.

Why I chose UCLA: I truly enjoyed my time at UCLA as a fourth year SubI. Particularly, complexity of patient population enticed my interest, and the culture of the department greatly aligned with my ideal work place. During my time as a resident here, I enjoyed diverse educational experience lead by some of the kindest and most caring physicians I have met. The ICU has always been of great interest to me, as I have always liked high intensity and fast-paced environments. At UCLA we truly get to experience and learn about cutting edge medical care in a team-oriented milieu, while maintaining a great work-life balance.
